21 Days of Prayer - Day 19

My sweet  Rebecca's family
 (A day at the children's museum, 2013)

"God is within her; she will not be toppled. God will help her when the morning dawns." (Psalm 46:5)

           While praying for Rebecca yesterday, I found this verse above tucked in the middle of the Psalm which promises that God is our refuge and strength, a Helper who is always found in times of trouble. Although the "her" of verse five is literally the holy city of God, the Lord used His living Word to reassure this storm-tossed mother that He dwells within my daughter, she will be okay, and He is helping her. 
           It's praiseworthy to realize that as morning dawned yesterday, Rebecca's intense pain began to subside, and even though joints remain swollen and mobility is taxing, the tides appear to have turned toward healing.

"Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with a jubilant cry! For Yahweh, the Most High, is awe-inspiring, a great King over all the earth!" (Psalm 47:1-2)

          O Christian, ransomed by the Lord Jesus, know that His Holy Spirit lives in you (Rom. 8:11), you will not be toppled by your troubles (John 16:33), and God will help you (Heb. 13:5-6) when the morning dawns: "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the BRIGHT MORNING STAR" (Rev. 22:16)!
